Do We Really Understand Our Dogs?

Dog ways ·

2025/11/12

In this episode of Dog Ways, we explore one of the most fundamental aspects of life with dogs — communication. Dogs have spent thousands of years learning to read us — our gestures, tone of voice, expressions, even words. But how well do we understand them in return? We talk about what it really means to "speak dog," why mutual understanding is the foundation of good training, and how better communication leads to a calmer, more trusting relationship with our dogs. — The information in this episode

In this episode, we’re talking about … choices! Giving our dogs choices is extremely important for their wellbeing. Our beloved dogs rely on us for food, shelter and comfort. And many of them even for such basic needs as going to the toilet! In this episode we discuss how this affects their wellbeing and behaviour, and what you can do to give your dog a more fulfilling life filled with more choices and agency. — The information in this episode is purely educational and it is not a replacement for

Physical and emotional welfare in dog training

Dog ways ·

2025/07/25

In this episode, we continue talking about wellbeing in dog training - both emotional and physical. When training and living with dogs, we often focus on what we need to teach them. We discuss training methods, argue whether we should be using this or that equipment… all while focusing on the “what”. But we often forget to ask ourselves the very important question of WHY - why do we want to teach dogs what we teach them? Are they comfortable with training? Are the exercises we expect them to do

What do dogs need?

Dog ways ·

2025/07/09

Behaviour issues very often arise as a consequence of the dog’s needs not being met appropriately. But what does that mean exactly? What needs to dogs have that we may inadvertently not be meeting? In this episode, we discuss dogs’ needs - as a species, as a breed and as an individual. — The information in this episode is purely educational and it is not a replacement for veterinary or behaviour advice.

Kindness and respect in dog training

Dog ways ·

2025/06/11

“Never use physical or psychological punishment on dogs” is one of the guidelines we follow strictly. It seems straightforward - but is it? Some behavioural advice, human reactions to dog behaviour and training techniques may seem kind, but could be perceived as punishment by the dog. We also usually easily recognise physical punishment, but when it comes to psychological punishment, things can become slightly more complicated. Join us as we dive into the importance of kindness and understanding in

Normal dog behaviour

2025/05/28

Understanding normal dog behaviour is essential if we want to prevent or solve behaviour issues. And more importantly - it allows us to offer our dogs the best life we possibly can. Join us as we talk about what dogs need and do to feel happy, comfortable and content. And what happens when normal dog behaviour is not allowed … — The information in this episode is purely educational and it is not a replacement for veterinary or behaviour advice.

What does a dog need to know?

Dog ways ·

2025/05/14

In this episode, we talk about our expectations and commands. Should we be commanding our dogs or should we be asking them to do something? What should we be teaching them at all? Why do otherwise obedient dogs sometimes disobey? We offer insight into a different approach towards our lives with dogs - about an approach based on building a strong, healthy relationship with our dogs and teaching without the use of commands. — If you are looking for an ethical dog professional to help you with any
